I hadn't thought about that. Dummy me. But the real problem I have is to pass a form input value to a variable. For example: <input type="text" name="titleIN" size="52" /> <input type="radio" name="choice" value="$titleIN" /> How can I pass the "text" input to a variable that could be used by the "radio" button? The idea is to have several inputs for a search page with the inputs limited by the radio button to one choice of several inputs. If I can get the input to a variable, I can then manipulate it to do a query for the search. :-\ Hope this is understandable? -- unheralded genius: "A clean desk is the sign of a dull mind.
